notification bug?

[Foxdawg]

As of late, I've been experiencing a bug with my notification for text messages. No matter what I select as notification for texts (system preset sound or a custom one), it keeps playing a song which isn't even in the ringtones folder. Alphabetically, it's the first song in my music folder on SD card...

Anyone experienced something similar before? Can this 'bug' be undone/reset in any way without factory reset?

Wild guess here, but no harm will be done and it's less painful than a factory reset...

This should force your phone to rebuild it's internal index of stored media.
**It will require you to set your notification and ringtones again for all relevant apps (calendar, messaging, calls, etc).

1. In Manage Applications, find Media Storage (under all)
2. Force stop and Clear data
3. Reboot and wait for the phone to reindex media (approx 4 to 40 mins depending on the size and speed of the memory card)
4. Reselect notification tones & ringtones throughout the phone.
5. Test

Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. Very strange.

Have you installed and ringtone apps that may be overriding the default ringtone assignment?

No, I haven't. Default audio player is PowerAMP and I also have Ubermusic, but I've never used them for ringtone purposes.

You're not the only one. I once had my notifications hijacked by the sound effects in Assassins Creed. Never did get rid of it until I uninstalled the game.

I deleted my music folder and its contents en then it worked. But as soon as a re-added my music to SD card, it seems to connect to some songs again, instead of the sounds in the notifications folder, no matter what my notification settings are.

So somehow it keeps linking to my music folder...

EDIT: I found a workaround solution, but still, I remain puzzled. I just renamed my music folder and now the selected notifications plays when receiving a text, as it should.

Either way, if anyone can explain the issue, please do. Thx for the help so far.
